Hebrews 08 General Notes
Structure and formatting
The author finishes describing how and why Jesus is the most important high priest. Then he begins to speak about how the new covenant is better to the covenant God made with Moses. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/covenant)
Some translations set each line of poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to make it easier to read. The ULB does this with the poetry in 8:8-12, which are words from the Old Testament.
